Another Quarter...Still School

My life is back in its original routine. A new quarter starts once again...I just know there's more to life than going to school and then working a boring, full-time job doing virtually the same thing until retirement (or until death). I want a simple life doing something I love. Not this mundane, long cycle of going to school even though I do learn a lot. Possibly more than I ever have. But I want something different, and I want it to start right now. Only...how can I find out what I like to do when I'm stuck in school studying for my major of which I don't even know is what I truly want? It's stupid and selfish of me to say I want to go someplace else and see the world, because first of all, my parents would never let me take a long break from school, and secondly, I wouldn't have anyone to share the experience with. To reiterate a cliche...It's never about your destination, but it's about the people you walk with. Or something along those lines anyway.

I miss my relatives. It's amazing how far we are physically and geographically, but as far as emotionally and mentally...I feel we are close. It's mind boggling and hard to comprehend the body of water separating us and the time zone that follows. It's like jumping into the future or going back in time depending on which way you travel across the globe. Oh jet leg...how you make me feel so sleepy and tired all the time...but also cause me insomnia..
